Hi Ann, I have to disagree with you to where Jessie and Jane were living in 1901, they was living in Wolverhampton and not Aston, I don't think they went back to Aston or the Birmingham area after 1900 to live.

That is the Tonks I think is on the memorial , I don't think Ann does, My main concern with the names on the memorial are spellings mistakes and the initials how correct are they, the poor stone smith probably had to read of a list of names or individual sheets written by others who may not been...

Mr Tonks is giving me nightmares, I have found two that may fit the bill, one lad who lived all his young life in Aston and had family connections to Aston Church but his initials are slightly different, L R J ( Leslie Robert John ) Tonks, Second Lieutenant, South Staffordshire Regiment, which...

Hi Ann....I think I may have solved the Vigus W.H puzzle, the name I believe him to be is Harry Sidney Vigurs 129885 (Vigors on the list ), his parents were Walter and Ada Vigurs who were living at 60 Upper Sutton Street in 1911, and then 68 Aston Lane , I cannot find another Vigus/ Vigurs that...

Hi Ann...I think I have found the correct A E Wilson, but its not A E but A C Wilson...Alexander Clark Wilson reg 27452, lived at 173 Aston Lane when he married Harriett Maria Rowe, he died 21/10/1916

Janice...He has been found and is on the memorial

On the memorial there is a Ernest William Pickering which states ( Address in Aston unknown ) after searching through different records I have found he has almost no connection to Aston what so ever, he was born in Nottinghamshire in the July quarter of 1891, he married Dora Lavender born in...

Another one...Thomas Potts 35994 died 23/08/1918 94 Witton Lane wife Susannah

I have found Ancestry hints to be unreliable over the past year or two.

According to his pension record, he died on the 21st April 1922,

My first Great Grandchild George, born 31rd March 202, to my grand daughter and her partner David, good and bad news, the bad news he was born in Wolverhampton (joke) good news, he wasn't born today, I have yet to see or hold him due to the fact that both mum and son have yet to be released to...

Hi Ann I have a few more names for you to ponder, I have been searching through the pensions records on Fold3 over the past couple of weeks , I have found some of the names on the list and a few of the address which are missing off the main list. Davies, Herbert MS/885 16/08/1916 308...

There is a photo of a girl that was in the same class as myself when she and I were at Burlington Street Infant and Junior school, Sally Smith, very brainy if I remember correctly, I am sure that I also knew a brother and sister that attend March Hill but a years or two later, David and Sally...

I have a James Corrigan reg 17886 not killed but went missing 1917, later to be found as a prisoner, released in January 1919, I also think he was court martialled for shooting himself in the foot in 1916, he was found not guilty this was in June 1919, I was thinking if the memorial was unveiled...

Hi Ann....When was the memorial first unveiled ? and do you know when it was conceived ? No need to answer Ann, just been on your web site and seen the information I required

I have been looking at C Paxford, I think I have found him as Horace Charles Paxford born Aston 1890, died 20/09/1917 reg R/2649 , was married in Aston Church 1912 to Vivienne Bennett.

Janice I thought Stakes was Stokes as well, but checking through my own lists I came across George Starkey, quite a few of the people we have found do have mis-spelt surnames, it depends on who wrote them down in the first place and who transcribed them to the memorial, how many names have been...
